More on the continuing saga of weird behavior under Multifinder on a 1Meg Plus: When you last heard from me I claimed that the default partition given to PrintMonitor (78K for mine, though some claim it should be 80K) was to small. So I increased it to 120. Don't seem to be having problems with it now... However when I was printing, I tried to launch Cricket Draw 1.1, and probably there wasn't enough memory avaiable for it, so it immediately quit (note that I didn't get the dialog from MF telling me this...). What happened though, was that the finder quit too. So here I was running PrintMonitor only, with the MF icon in the upper right, and no "Finder" in the Desk accessory menu, or anywhere! Wow! I always wanted to be able to run applications without the finder, and there I was. I still could get to my DA's and they ran under the DA Handler, which upon quiting gave me back PrintMonitor. I finally hit the debug button and got the finder back by SM 0 A9F4, G 0. But the system was in an unstable state...As was my heart. Anybody else seen something like this? Perhaps my mac has the flu or some other virus! Jim Meiss jdm@emx.utexas.edu jdm%uta.MFENET@nmfecc.ARPA -------------------------------------------------------------------------
